About Me

Welcome to the Fat Blokes guide to losing weight the Buddhist way. I am on a physical and spiritual journey that leads one day all the way to Dharamsala. I am a morbidly obese, 40 something asthmatic PIE WORRIER who should know better! This is NOT a diet, just a simple mixture of positive thought, healthy eating and lots of exercise. Join me if the mood takes you and please don't walk on the grass without shouting through the letter box! Thanks.

My philosophy of sorts...

'A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad,
cannot fail to produce results. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances,
but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his
circumstances.'

The pose is due to pure exhaustion but crikey, will you just look at them there shoes!

Just as when John F Kennedy was shot (my father was in the bath when it was announced on the radio by the way if you're interested...), remember where you were when I started running. Yes, ladies and gentlemen your eyes are not on strike, I said 'WHEN I WENT A RUNNIN'!'

These truly are the most momentous of times, I presently feel a mixture of elation, foreboding and utter 'knackered-ness' (mmm..., new word me thinks..) - really pleased as I have finally got off my ample backside and started the physical side of this journey, foreboding due to the frankly astonishingly, mind-bogglingly piss-poor level of my fitness (sorry, cat lovers but there really is no other term worthy of it) and finally finishing up with borderline respiratory failure for my trouble!

Go dude!!!! You won't know yourself once you get fit!!! It's an AWESOME feeling to be doing something that was physically IMPOSSIBLE just a while ago!!! Go FatBloke.... go FatBloke.... one day we will be saying "go skinny... go skinny" !!! Yeee haaaaa.

Don't mention the legs! When i was younger (and slimmer) I have a fourite pair of levis that I lived in and 'puffa' jackets were in - I was spotted in town by a friend of mine and she thought I resembles a 'stuffed chicken' - I have been cursed with skinny legs all my life!

FB, Look at you Dude! You look SO much like a runner! I am very, very proud to return to meet the new FB!;-)Now, let's run to the store and get you some little shorty socks (yes, I'm gonna play fashion queen for a moment) and you will be set!I have missed you!
